291 Come back to me (1/2)
”Don't worry. I knew he would ditch you. I just spotted him. I will look out for him tonight so have a rest for now. Also, prepare yourself because I am going to have to punish you tomorrow.”
Abi swallowed.
”I have to punish you for real to show him the consequence of his actions. I am doing it so that he will not ditch you again. It will have to be something on the extreme side, so sleep and prepare yourself for the worst.”
He sounded menacing. Zeke's words somewhat pushed down her devastation because fear suddenly kicked it out of its throne for a second or two.
”Are we clear?”
”Yes, I-I understand.” What else could she say? If she had to go through hell again to bring her husband back, she would walk down there barefooted, with a smile on her face. ”Zeke,” she continued, ”can you make sure he doesn't… he doesn't go… to his… to his ha…” Abi broke off. She couldn't say it. She couldn't ask this man to stop Alex from going to see another woman. She just couldn't.
”Okay…” Zeke surprisingly said. ”Don't worry, that guy doesn't have a harem.” He knew what she was going to ask. He wasn't an idiot. After the display she put on earlier, he had learned his lesson. If he was going to work with Abigail, then he would need to take her feelings into consideration.
”Thank you, Zeke,” she said from the bottom of her heart. Abi was so thankful that she felt like crying.
Abi put the phone down and went to the bathroom to take a proper bath because she needed to clear her head so that the sadness in her heart wouldn't eat her alive. Having Zeke's assurance somehow calmed her down a little, but it didn't stop the clawing pain in her heart.
She dried herself and went to his wardrobe to pick one of his shirts and a pair of boxer shorts. She didn't have any other clothes and the maid's uniform was now torn to pieces. She forgot to tell Zeke about those. She would have to do that tomorrow.
She wore them, changed the sheets, and settled herself there. She was a little nervous about what tomorrow would bring her but she noticed that Alex's eyes would only show that familiar hellish glare of his everytime she nearly got hurt; like when she was nearly bitten by Zeke and when she pulled his hand to choke her. Maybe Zeke's plan would work.
Abi knew that Zeke needed to punish her, or else his words would mean nothing to Alex, leading him to ditch her even more.
But was it true that he didn't have a harem? Then why did he say that? She didn't want to think about that anymore. She had to trust in Zeke's words, his promise that he would stop Alex from doing that kind of thing.
Abi walked towards the table and picked up the rings. They were all put together in a necklace. Did he put these all together and wore it before he left her?
His eyes were so full of love for her, so full of happiness.
Abi grabbed the pillow and cried to her sleep. She missed him so much.
